EJECTABLE COMPONENT ASSEMBLIES IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

Electronic devices are provided with ejectable component assemblies 16 that can be substantially flush with the external surfaces of the housings 18 of the devices, despite variations in their manufacture. The ejectable component assemblies may include connectors 40 coupled to circuit boards 11 of the devices, and trays 20 that can be loaded with removable modules 30, inserted through openings 19 in the housings of the devices, and into the connectors for functionally aligning the removable modules with the circuit boards. The ejectable component assemblies may also include ejectors 50 coupled to the housings of the devices for ejecting the trays from the connectors and, thus, from the devices themselves.
